HEAR THAT, HELEN? It's the Mystikal - "Hit Me" thread

this song is incredible... it's gonna be a shame when baby keeps pushing him to do generic 2012 radio grabs

yeah i dunno this song feels kind of like a reboot after "Original" was a much more generic 2012 radio grab kind of comeback single a year ago, after that didn't do much maybe this signals a new approach. or even if it's one-off, it's all good really.

so if that's the case, are you also opposed to the music he made prior to 2003?

so conflicted b/c some of those singles weren't just "oh a hot beat" or "a hot radio jam" but all-time classics. being a FUCKING RAPIST isn't just a musician being an asshole or whatever.

when it comes to whether someone is ~reformed~ - there are ways and means, particularly if your career depends on public support, of making it known that you've reformed. donate or work or publicly support a survivors' charity or women's refuge or something.

when you say "i want reparations" in your post-release interview, you're probably not "reformed"

”probably”

i don't think you want to be on team jb here dude

how is that yuur takeaway of that post

dying dying dying dying dying dying dying dying dying dying that I just understood this part

A, B! C D bitches?

O, S T R!

dying

of course none of the 16 year olds who edit Rap Genius understand it, thus once again earning the 15 million dollars they rightfully deserve

Magnificent.

how is that yuur takeaway of that post

woah sorry totally misread that, saw the quotation marks as suggesting it was conjecture or something. my bad

i've never read into that part of JB's life story. i just assumed he had similar issues, hence my usage of "probably."

I'm decoding this as "letters that sound like words." Am I close?

closer than rap genius

song is good. reminds me of go-go a bit but more sped up like funk/james

almost like an old sugar hill song too

hey bea, see these bitches? hell, them ain't no bitches. oh yes they are. hit it.

I'm just reminded of Son of Bazerk.

that is the first comment that has made me want to hear this

A, B! C D bitches?
L M N O bitches.
O, S T R!

idgi, what is there to understand?

this is a hell of a song, mixed feelings, blah blah blah

there's a station in D.C. that basically plays nothing but grown folks R&B and Go-Go, but sometimes a rap song like V.I.C.'s "Wobble" will get played if it sounds like a funk song -- really hoping they start playing "Hit Me" at some point

did they ever use that diddy interlude

heh not that i heard

http://youtu.be/CXfEiUXuJKc?t=55s

that was a b-side iirc? thanks for reminding me of that classic youtube vid tho

Can you buy this anywhere yet?

ain't on iTunes

from what i've read it's a leaked demo

So, we've moved past Norman Cook now?

I mean, Fatboy fucking Slim did the same thing (without swearing, I might add) in the 80's.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nJnooBS2Ors

We've now moved to a point where we're romanticizing post-No Limit, post-prison should-be washup rapists?

Not good. Not okay.

you are the worst

cosign

i bet macklemore could do this without swearing

Austin

Great song.

lol

Post-no-limit romanticizers!

making that my job title

So, Mystikal is still associated with No Limit Records?

Sorry, don't see how stating a fact is funny or whatever you assholes are trying to convolute it into.

Not that I expect a real response anyway.

What are your thoughts on No Limit, Austin?

booming post-No Limit

Mystikal is not associated with No Limit anymore.

And furthermore, as a hip hop fan in the late 90's, No Limit was one of the major contributing factors to the downfall of the genre.

So yes, I do feel it's necessary to keep his association with the label in the discussion.

To me, it felt like the people associated with No Limit were real life scumbags. In addition to the music being everything I hated, they seemed like detestable people as well.

And then, Mystikal raped someone.

(Imagine that: someone who's biggest song was entitled "Shake Ya Ass" was imprisoned on sexual assault charges.)

I'm probably the dumbest person on this board, but even I called that one.

Sorry that some of you folks have your pseudo-critic spoons up your butts so far that you have hard time comprehending that something can be "post" in terms of timelines and have nothing to do with music.

But hey, you guys get paid to write about music. What the fuck do I know.

Rapists deserve hype.

And furthermore, as a hip hop fan in the late 90's, No Limit was one of the major contributing factors to the downfall of the genre.

I see. How do you feel about Cash Money?

I don't get paid to write about music. I just think the song is cool. It makes me laugh every time I hear it.

(Imagine that: someone who's biggest song was entitled "Shake Ya Ass" was imprisoned on sexual assault charges.)

Uhh

I'm probably the dumbest person on this board

Oh! Okay.

I'm just reminded of Son of Bazerk.

yeah

And furthermore, as a hip hop fan in the late 90's, No Limit was one of the major contributing factors to the downfall of the genre.

do explain!

See? I'm hella dumb ya'll!

I don't know shit!

No Limit was Puffy's post-Notorious B.I.G. Bad Boy on crack, equipped with too loud sixteenth note hi-hats. The worst G-Funk stereotypes magnified. If early and mid-80's synth-pop was seen as disposable and gimmicky by the mid and late 90's, this stuff should now be asserted to similarly shameful reassessments.

But somehow, Ca$h Money Records (proper spelling) is the post-apocalyptic warlord tyrant. We're still not yet emerged from those dark times. Have you read Eden by Stanislaw Lem? It's kind of like that. Best for us to repair the ship and get the hell out of there.

Nickelback and Linkin Park made me laugh every time I heard them too. Don't fall into that hole. Funny does not = good.

Son of Bazerk's album was bad, too. If the Bomb Squad's name had not been on it, I never would have felt any sort of allegiance in the first place.

austin is the man

The man at which to aim your contempt.

And yet, I realize my music is bad and I therefore do not try and expose anyone to it. And furthermore, I've never raped anyone.

Say hi to the bad guy.

YOU MOTHERFUCKER TAKE THAT BACK

& quit trying to get me out of my self imposed rap thread ban goddamn it

just saw son of bazerk last week btw, with public enemy on this packaged old school tour, they were awesome

haha wow

4real that is an unforgiveable opinion

http://www.youtube.com/watch?gl=GB&hl=en-GB&v=ZmDdUUVhnfk

btw i didnt even know there was a video to this! a video that invented hey ya!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZmDdUUVhnfk

oop

iirc the first 20 minutes of the son of bazerk lp is p much the greatest ever 20 minutes of recorded music

really need to listen that to shit again pronto

^^^

wonder if quik's ever heard it

at very least he would surely appreciate fellow lovers of fake reggae jams

actually if quik hasnt heard it i would seriously pay a significant sum of money just to watch him when he does, no joke

they were really fun - the three main original members were there, they all looked and sounded good, performed in suits (and a dress), did some dancing...son of bazerk also ended with the classic "i can't go on..someone throw a cape on me" james brown thing

yeah man, i was at that show. Son of Bazerk fuckin ruled.

wise intelligent was also really good

calling something "leaders of the new school" that is in actuality a DINCO D solo show is kinda lame tho :/

this song

Mystikal guest spot on the new Mouse On Tha Track tape is really good -- how much music has he put out since getting home in August?

Can't buy this yet

tbh i'd be kind of surprised if Birdman was all 'what? 10 blogs really like this leaked Mystikal track? ok, let's push back the next Drake single and start working this record instead'

Lol

Probably

Yes, push that rapist!

I guess when you're amongst "friends" you don't see the problem with that.
